This is my version on what I think should have come next in Hunchback of Notre Dame. This is one of my favorite Disney movies because it reveals the truths that we don't always want to admit happened. Plot Summery: All is well in Paris after six years. Frollo is gone and Quasimodo is free to go outside whenever he pleases. Esmerelda and Phoebus are married with a six year old daughter and now Phoebus has become a gypsy so he can stay with Esmerelda. Yup life is good in Paris or is it?
I do not own Hunchback of Norte Dame just my ideas. Enjoy and don't forget to read and review.
Quasimodo sat on the bell tower looking down at the city as the sun rose. Although Frollo was no longer there Quasimodo decided to stay in the bell tower because it was his home. He went out into the streets everyday and the people didn't mind anymore. Esmerelda and Phoebus visit him often and that made him happy. Quasimodo finds himself often times thinking about Frollo and the fall that took his life. Even though Quasimodo had hated his master he didn't believe that even someone like him should have that kind of death. He felt a little guilty because he thought that his masters death was his fault. Esmerelda always told him that it wasn't his fault and that it had to happen in order for peace to come over Paris. That seemed to reassure him sometimes, but he still found himself thinking of his master as the sun turned the city red like on the day Frollo died.
On the other side of the village was a small community of gypsies in which Esmerelda and Phoebus lived in. Esmerelda was just waking up and went to check on her child. The child was six now and her name was Clelia. She had a little lighter skin than her mother and black hair, but her eyes were like Phoebus's. When Esmerelda entered the room she noticed a red ribbon hanging from the bed post. She picked it up and looked at it. It was just a simply red ribbon but there was something about it that didn't seem right. She called Phoebus into the room and he examined it.
"I don't know what it means. Who would leave a red ribbon here" Phoebus said setting it aside, "It's probably someone just trying to scare us. I wouldn't worry"
And for a while Esmerelda didn't worry, but one day while she was walking around the square to find Quasimodo she felt like she was being watched. She turned her head but all she caught was a flash of a red ribbon and the corner of a black robe. This scared her a little and she ran home to tell Phoebus.
"That is strange. First the red ribbon in the bed and now the stranger watching you. I think you should go talk to Quasimodo about this he is in the streets everyday maybe he would know" Phoebus suggested.
Esmerelda took the red ribbon and waited for night fall before she headed out. Phoebus stayed at home with Jolly and their daughter because he had work to do. Esmerelda put a hood up as she came out the door. Even though Frollo was dead there were still people that didn't take kindly to gypsies and she didn't really want to argue with them. Esmerelda walked silently down the streets until she came to the cathedral. She opened the doors and looked around quietly calling Quasimodo's name. He appeared at the foot of the stairs leading up to the bell towers.
"Esmerelda" he said and ran over to hug her, "What brings you here?"
"I came by to visit and to tell you about some strange things that have been happening lately" Esmerelda said.
"Well then come up to the bell tower with me and tell me everything" Quasimodo said leading the way up the stairs.
The two sat down on the roof top and talked.
"I found this red ribbon on my child's bed and I don't have any idea what it means" Esmerelda said handing him the ribbon.
Quasimodo examined every inch of it but couldn't figure out what it meant either. He worried though because little Clelia was a good friend to Quasimodo. She loved to play with him whenever she came to the towers.
"Perhaps it is just someone in the city who doesn't like gypsies playing a trick" he suggested.
"That is what Phoebus told me, but that is not all just today while I was in the square I felt like someone was watching me and when I turned I only saw a red ribbon and a corner of a black robe" Esmerelda explained.
"Very strange, but if you have come to ask if I know anyone like that I'm sorry to say that I have never seen anyone in the village that dresses like that" Quasimodo said.
"That's ok I didn't expect you to, but I want to find out who it is" Esmerelda said.
The two friends talked of other things before Esmerelda decided it was time for her to go. She gave Quasimodo a hug and headed out the door. Esmerelda gazed up at the sky as she walked down the street. She was so deep in thought that she did not see a hand come from behind her and cover her mouth. She struggled and screamed but they were muffled by the hand as she was dragged back into a shadowy alley. The figure stopped when they were against a wall. Esmerelda turned her head to look at the person but their face was hidden by a hood. She struggled to get free, but the figure was strong too. She stopped her struggling when she heard a familiar voice that sent shivers down her spine
"Hello Esmerelda did you miss me?" the figure whispered into her ear.
Esmerelda turned her head again as the hood fell. She was staring into the cold face of Frollo.
(Dramatic music) Frollo is back! How many saw that coming? Just how did he survive his fall off the bell tower? The answers will be given next chapter
